Title: Log dogs lubed up a little too well.
Post by: broker farmer on December 20, 2005, 11:19:13 AM

I was having trouble making adjustments on my log dogs on my manual mill. They were "sticking" and not moving back and forth in a smooth manner. I had the great idea to "lube" them with WD 40. Man, was that a mistake! Now they will not hold, especially the over-center ratchet that clamps down to the log. Anybody got any ideas how I can get them back in working order?

Put some mineral spirits in an old spray bottle and spray where you placed the wd-40. That will remove it.
